Chapter 544 The Three Channels of the Spiritual Pivot

The Ling Shu ore was kept in my personal space for a while.

The conditions for permanentization require three spiritual veins, each requiring seven days of waiting, a considerable time span.

The first spiritual vein is located underground in the Ghost Mist Forest.

It was already evening when Li Yuan arrived at the Ghost Mist Forest. The thick fog surrounding the forest was still dense, and the characteristics of the spiritual energy fluctuations within the forest were exactly as he remembered. Using the Hidden Trace technique, Li Yuan concealed his aura and advanced about ten miles into the forest before stopping beside a natural crevice that stretched downwards.

The rift wasn't deep, but after descending twenty feet, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

The concentration of spiritual energy increased visibly, from thin to abundant, and then from abundant to dense. A faint tremor came from the soles of my feet, as if something enormous was breathing steadily underground.

Large spiritual veins.

The effect of the Ling Shu Insight entry was immediately activated. The outline of the spiritual veins unfolded in perception, clearer than ever before, revealing the grade, direction of spiritual energy flow, and concentration gradient, layer by layer, as if looking at a real object instead of a blurry map.

Circulate the Burning Wood Longevity Technique.

The rich spiritual energy of the spiritual veins seeped into the meridians from all directions, with an absorption efficiency nearly twice that of the ground. Wood-type spiritual energy circulated within the meridians, carrying a unique rhythmic cycle of vitality. The regenerative and replenishing effects of the advanced stage were even more fully realized with the support of the high concentration of spiritual energy.

The seven-day retreat schedule was set, and everything proceeded as usual.

During this time, Li Yuan also conducted a spatial search scan near the spiritual vein. The proficient level detection wave covered more than 20 miles and no abnormal fluctuations were detected.

Seven days later, Li Yuan got up, finished his practice, and left.

The second spiritual vein, the target is Mozhou.

The streak of light transformed into a dark line, hurtling towards Mozhou, its flight altitude deliberately kept low. The spiritual energy on the surface of Mozhou was so thin that it was almost imperceptible, and the speed of the streak of light decreased as it approached Mozhou, requiring more spiritual energy to maintain its speed.

We landed on the edge of Mexico and walked into the rocky wasteland.

Compared to the spiritual veins of Ghost Mist Forest, the spiritual energy of the spiritual veins here is much more ancient.

The Spiritual Pivot Insight automatically distinguishes the differences in perception between the two spiritual veins, and the subtle differences are presented clearly at the level of perception.

Li Yuan found a flat rock face deep within the spiritual vein, sat down cross-legged, and began his cultivation.

The training rhythm is the same as that of Ghost Mist Forest: seven days, continuously, without interruption.

Seven days later, Li Yuan emerged from underground in Mozhou.

Ling Shu Insight, 2/3.

After exiting, we passed a familiar crack entrance along the way.

Two survivors guarded the outer edge of the crevice. Upon seeing Li Yuan's presence, they did not stop him. One of them turned and went down to report.

After Li Yuan waited a moment, Old Shen emerged from the crack.

The old man was even thinner than the last time I saw him, and his back was bent even lower. He walked with a steady gait, but the distance between each step was shorter than before.

"They've arrived," Old Shen said calmly.

"Just passing by, stopped by to check on things." Li Yuan glanced at him. "How much lifespan do you have left?"

Mr. Shen didn't mince words and directly stated a number.

Not much. Considering the normal lifespan of someone in the late Foundation Establishment stage, the remaining time is less than the width of two fingers put together.

Li Yuan took out a longevity pill from his personal space and handed it over.

Old Shen glanced at it but did not reach out to take it.

"Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist Li," he said, "but it's no need."

"Old Shen raised his head, his gaze calm, and said, "I've lived long enough to reach this age."

Li Yuan retrieved the Longevity Pill and provided another batch of supplies.

After exchanging a few more words, Li Yuan left.

The last spiritual vein is in the sea.

The information about permanent spiritual vein extraction was also recorded, revealing a hidden, large spiritual vein somewhere in the sea.

Li Yuan transformed into a streak of light and sped towards the sea.

It was late at night when we arrived at the target area. The sea was pitch black, and the waves were low. After entering the water, the underwater visibility was close to zero, but our senses were still sharp.

Li Yuan continued to swim in the sea, his divine sense constantly scanning, and his spiritual insight detected the aura of the spiritual vein.

There are remnants of array formations at the edge of the spiritual vein area.

Li Yuan glanced at it after landing.

The remnants are scattered on the surface of the seabed rock layer above the main vein of the spiritual vein. The array patterns have been almost completely eroded and dissipated, leaving only a few very shallow spiritual energy grooves that still retain their outlines. Judging from the direction of the grooves and the distribution of the nodes, the function of this array was to gather and guide the spiritual energy in the spiritual vein in a certain direction, leading it to a deeper place below.

However, the formation had completely failed.

A probe was fired downwards, but no cavities or artificial structures were found in the deep rock layers. The target was either long gone or was never completed.

Let's set it aside for now and not investigate further.

He sat cross-legged within the spiritual vein's range and began his cultivation.

The spiritual energy from the sea veins seeped into my meridians, carrying a unique aquatic aura that was completely different from the feeling from the previous two spiritual veins.

The Hunyuan Spirit Pool continues to purify the quality of spiritual energy, maintaining stable operation even in this multi-attribute spiritual energy environment, and the purity of spiritual energy does not decrease when it flows out of the meridians.

The process continued as usual on the seventh day.

On the seventh night, at the moment the training ended, the panel popped up.

The conditions for making Ling Shu Insight (Blue) permanent have been met.

【Condition: Cultivate for a total of seven days in each of three different grade spiritual veins √ (3/3)】

[Ling Shu Insight (Blue) has become a permanent entry]

The original Ling Shu ore in the personal space shattered and dissipated.

A scene flashed into my mind.

A cultivator stood directly above a large spiritual vein, his feet firmly planted on the ground, eyes closed in meditation.

The aura of the spiritual vein unfolded in his perception. Without active investigation, the vein's grade, direction, and every change in concentration entered his consciousness as naturally as breathing. The cultivator took two steps to the left and sensed a slight decrease in spiritual energy concentration; he took one step to the right and sensed a slight increase. When he stopped at that spot, the efficiency of his spiritual energy circulation suddenly increased.

The monk opened his eyes. The ground beneath his feet was now transparent to him.

The image disappeared.

The next moment, several terms in his mind resonated simultaneously.

Spiritual insight, spiritual connection through pulse, orientation through pile core, and lingering resonance of mineral veins.

The four terms related to spiritual veins and earth veins intertwined with each other, their resonance frequency increasing.

Entry fusion.

A blue light condensed and took shape in the sea of ​​consciousness.

[Entry merging complete]

[Spiritual Pivot Insight (Blue) + Pulse Sensation (White) + Core Orientation (White) + Mineral Vein Residual (White) → Pulse Pivot Profound Understanding (Blue - Fusion)]

[Effects: The perception of the grade of the spiritual vein, the gradient of spiritual energy concentration, and the direction of the earth veins becomes instinctive; the efficiency of spiritual energy breathing is greatly improved when within the range of a spiritual vein; the correction of the deviation of spiritual vein nodes in the formation can be completed subconsciously; the tracking accuracy and perception range of the direction of underground spiritual mines are greatly enhanced.]

The blue light sank into the sea of ​​consciousness, and the positions originally occupied by the four entries were replaced by a deeper layer of perception.

Change is instantaneous.

The seabed rock beneath my feet became transparent in my perception, and the structure of the spiritual veins was no longer presented as a clear blueprint, but rather integrated into my consciousness in a way that was almost instinctive.

It's not about sensing where the spiritual veins are, but about knowing directly where they are, as naturally as knowing where your own hand is.

Li Yuan stood on the seabed and felt it for a moment.

Previously, sensing spiritual veins required activating the effects of the "Spiritual Pivot Insight" attribute, which involved an active activation process. That's no longer the case.

The distribution of spiritual veins within a fifty-mile radius around the body is visible in the consciousness at any time, and subtle changes in concentration are automatically updated. Even the slight increase in concentration caused by shifting the standing position by two feet is immediately perceived.

The perception of the direction of the spirit mine has also changed.

Deep within the rock strata, a thin branch of spiritual ore meandered, buried over a hundred feet deep—a distance previously completely beyond the range of perception. After the fusion of the pulse core and the profound mysteries, the approximate course of that branch automatically surfaced at the edge of consciousness, blurry yet discernible.
